current popular theory is that those fired/left were taking OpenAI for profit, and the board stuck with their original goal of non profit.

>>thinki+(OP)
you mean current completely made up speculation by anon online?

That's one source. There are others about, but as I wrote it's a "theory".

I imagine when the full story comes out all these theories and speculations will be ignored and we will literally forget ever being interested in them!

I didn't even need to check the source. I immediately thought that this was obvious when it was announced (implicitly) that Ilya must have voted out Sam on the board. Whatever legalese is going on in the side channels to justify everything, I can totally see the conflict in visions between these two guys. And I'm sorta glad Ilya came out on top, even though I'm not a big fan of him either. Brockman is the real loss from this mess.

how can people be so naïve... think about it. isn't it exactly the kind of spin that you would expect from "new" leadership? like, of course they're going to take the moral high-ground like any new regime would.

Nobody was "taking" anything for profit. That ship had sailed.

The OpenAI 501(c)3 already spun up a for-profit company in 2019 to do all the commercial work and take VC money.
